You never stated what the wallet has to be filled with mines the fattest due to being full of receipts!!

is there not an opportunity to freecycle this james

I agree Andrew. Why would anyone in their right mind want to leave there, just to lie about on a yacht in the med?

Latest sticker order arrived today, so the lower dash panel is complete.

Now then,,,,,who's got the fattest wallet

As you made clear above you've already got one you don't need two

Today I removed the engine and hydraulic tank from the frame. After a pressure wash I was amazed just how good the engine started to look. I was right with the fan, nearly 4 solid hours to get it off the crank, with lots of heating and penetrating fluid it eventually gave up the fight! The good news is though, that the engine looks in pretty good condition internaly, I will probably fit a new set of rings for good measure, and regrind the valves,but that's about it.

I have used it many times with no problems, in fact I treat all my tank's with POR. Ideally use the Marine Clean and ensure the tank is thouroughly dry, I put mine upside down on a radiator for a day or two but a hairdrier blowing through would do the job. You only need a small tin, seal the tap outlet etc, pour it all in and rotate the tank for several minutes ensuring it gets in all the corners then drain the excess back into the tin and reseal it as you can use the remainder if it stays airtight. Wipe the base of the tin as it will stick solid to any surface! Make sure all the tap threads etc are clear of sealer as it sets rock hard overnight! Also remove any that gets on the outside of the tank as paint doesn't adhere well to it either. Leave for about a week before putting fuel in. When starting a restoration I normally do the tank first, then paint it so that it has the maximum time to harden while the mechanical work takes place. Pete.

Doesn't time go quickly when your enjoying yourself. Well done all. May we grow and prosper.

I like to think I make a small contribution
